aqbanking, OFX, Chase

[brad haack]

I logged into the server before and after to double check the passwd & user name, the server worked and quicken worked.   Just now, I tried the "get accounts" again and got an unable to parse response error.  The log file actually looks OK to my ignorant eye, no errors.  No line feeds in the response either, is that normal?  When I 'Get Transactions' I get no transactions, but there should be.
